The Eighth Sphere: Evil and Devolution

By Douglas Gabriel

One of the most pressing questions of our age is whether there is a “permanent hell” and what are the conditions that cause a human spirit to devolve into this “second lake of fire” that is described in St. John’s Book of Revelation. Anthroposophists have continually debated this question and use Rudolf Steiner’s ideas about the “Eighth Sphere” to justify their opinions. These personal opinions are frequently limited in their scope because the bigger question of the Seven Spheres of Creation (the Divine Plan) and the nature of the Eighth Sphere are not understood in their full context.

The spiritual war for the etheric realm and the battle to stop the re-crucifixion of Christ can be lost and the soul and spirit of humanity be drawn into an evil realm of fallen spirits called the Eighth Sphere. This binary realm of two-dimensional beings is alluring, transfixing, and hypnotizing humanity into a Sub-Natural realm ruled by the condensing forces of electricity, the binding forces of electromagnetism, and the destructive and fragmenting forces of atom-based materialism intent on enslaving humanity in the Eighth Sphere. Only the forces of Christ can conquer the onslaught of Lucifer, Ahriman, and Sorat’s Asuras.
